Today’s photo booths are not just simple printing kiosks; they are sophisticated digital engagement hubs. At MARWEY, we integrate advanced technologies like AI-driven customization, augmented reality (AR), instant cloud sharing, and real-time analytics into our machines, transforming them into powerful tools for entertainment, branding, and data-driven marketing. This article explores the key digital features that define the modern photo booth experience.

• ​Social Media Connectivity:​​ Integrated sharing to platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok encourages viral marketing.

• ​Custom Hashtag Aggregation:​​ Booths can automatically collect all media from an event under a branded hashtag.

  This turns every capture into a shareable digital asset, exponentially increasing an event’s online reach.

​2. Augmented Reality (AR) Filters and Overlays​

Static backgrounds are a thing of the past. MARWEY’s booths use AR technology to superimpose digital elements in real-time:

• ​Interactive Advertisements:​​ Use idle screens to display promotional videos or interactive quizzes.

  This turns the photo booth into a cohesive brand touchpoint.
